Verdict
Bond Domingo, Tuscan Dream and Levelled are thee against the field in this opener and the vote goes to Bond Domingo. The selection was a fair sixth behind Beauteous last time that form has since been franked and with conditions to suit despite top weight he will be hard to beat. Tuscan Dream rates the main danger he has been in fair form of late and was a fair fifth behind Attorney last time. However he has had many chances without getting his head in front and for that reason he is opposed. Levelled is from a yard in form and is dropping in grade so is worth noting in the market while Mesmerised would have a chance at his best but for the winner we return to Bond Domingo.
